TEMPE, Ariz. -- A few days after her ASU career had officially ended in December 2015, Macey Gardner was sipping hot chocolate at Bergie's Coffee in Gilbert and talking about the possibility of coaching college volleyball.
Her dream? Returning one day to coach at ASU.
Turns out that dream is a reality with all the qualities Gardner brings to the table. Arizona State head coach Sanja Tomasevic announced last Monday that Gardner would join the program as an assistant coach and the programs' recruiting coordinator. Sun Devil assistant Amanda Burbridge previously held the latter role, but the soon-to-be newlywed is taking another role within the program as an alumni relations volunteer while she focuses more on family.
